Step 1 to solving #1739. When adding a cronjob that regularly runs ./manage.py refresh_results_cache, this should make invalid cache entries fix themselves the next time the cronjob runs.
(Note: The results page will still be broken during the period after merging courses but before the next cronjob run. We probably want to add manual triggers for such cases.)
